HERB - RECIPE: Juniper Berries in Oil

[Karla Sexsmith]

Greetings unto the herb list,

>Ingredients:
>
>   1/2 cup dried juniper berries
>   1 cup light oil (good: canola or almond)

Just a note here...  it's probably not a good idea to use canola oil if
you're making quite a lot, it can go rancid after a period of time.  Bitter
almond oil is good, don't use sweet almond oil because arsenic (I think...
something like that, some kind of poison) smells like almonds.  As someone
who occasionally works with essential oils, I would personally recommend
grapeseed oil (which you can buy at aromatherapy shops and sometimes health
stores).  

It might be worth looking into whether or not you can buy juniper essential
oil, as well...
